Sleep Deprived, But Okay
Filed Under Clothes, Daily, Post-Birth Sleep, Post-Birth Weight, The Father | 5 Comments
Clive’s back to work today and my mom’s here until the weekend. It’s very nice to have help, even though I feel like continuing my regular work load. It’s weird to spend most of my time in bed. I really need to though- recovery’s been a bitch, and probably ranked harder than actual labour because […]

Almost at the End

I had a dream last night about my flat stomach. I wonder if I’ll be one of the lucky ones and have my belly come back looking like it used to. I’ve always been confident about my stomach- no matter how much my weight has fluctuated (which it has, a lot), my stomach has (almost) […]

Five Weeks to Go

When I should be focusing on things like preparing for birth, I’m not. Instead, I’m having a very hard time sleeping at night, concentrating during the day, and not being able to relax. Ever.
Had I known that moving to Nova Scotia would be so hard on me, I’m not sure I would have. […]

Nova Scotia!
Filed Under Feelings, Pregnancy Countdown, The Father, The Mother | Leave a Comment
We made it safe and sound to Nova Scotia after two full days (12 hours+ each day) of driving. We weren’t involved in any accidents, the cargo unit strapped to our car’s roof behaved as it should have, and we weren’t pulled over for speeding. We only got “lost” a couple of times, and were […]

32 Week Portraits

This weekend Clive and I took a four-day vacation to Northern-ish Ontario. He caught fish. I didn’t. Instead, I took off my shirt and posed for some 32-week portraits.

Prenatal Classes
Filed Under Daily, Feelings, Pregnancy Boobs, The Father, The Mother | Leave a Comment
Clive and I attended prenatal classes this weekend (Saturday and Sunday, 9-4). I really liked the classes, even though I don’t think I learned anything new (other than some surprising local statistics about induction, c-sections, episiotomies etc), it was nice to go there and know that Clive was learning a lot of the things I’ve […]

Aww

The baby was head up last night, and he got the hiccups. Clive’s never felt them before because he’s usually head down when he gets them, so I had him place his hand on the baby’s head to get good take on how it felt.
After a few minutes, I said to him, “Do you see […]

The Second Baby Shower and a Status Update
Filed Under Pregnancy Doesn't Suck, Status Updates, The Father, The Mother, The Retail Side | 3 Comments
We had our second baby shower on Saturday. Lots of people showed up, most of them bearing small gifts (we love small gifts!), including a few toys, hooded towels and lots of clothes. We played no games, thankfully, and it had more of a backyard barbeque feeling than a baby shower- which is exactly […]

Baby Shower #1
Filed Under Pregnancy Doesn't Suck, The Father, The Mother, The Retail Side | Leave a Comment
We had our first baby shower yesterday. It went very well. Clive’s sister knows how to throw a great party. She’s our favorite person to give presents to because she’s so easily excitable, and says all the right things and is very appreciative of everything anyone does for her. I think I’ll miss […]
